The NCREDC in conjunction with Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates
developed the digital location and information of water pumps as mapped by
individual system owners as required by contract. The data
collected will facilitate planning, siting and impact analysis
in the 70 individual counties of North Carolina. This file
enables the user to make various county-level determinations
when used in conjunction with other data layers. This data
contains information on water pumps as defined by NCREDC,
pump ID, area name, original construction year, latest renovation,
pump capacity. Other coverages exist with water lines and other appurtenances.

Purpose:

This data was created to assist governmental agencies and
others in making resource management decisions through use
of a Geographic Information System (GIS).

data is the North Carolina Corporate Geographic Database.
Earlier versions of this data set may exist. The user
must be sure to use the appropriate data set for the
time period of interest. While efforts have been made to ensure
that these data are accurate and reliable within the state of the
art, CGIA cannot assume liability for any damages or
misrepresentation caused by any inaccuracies in the data or as a
result of changes to the data caused by system transfers.

Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates digitized water pump locations from various
maps and GPS files. All tabular data was supplied by the owner or received by
Public Water Supply information. For more information on data sources and
contacts, see the "Owner and Contact Table".

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Using ESRI's ArcCAD GIS software, the data set was built for
nodal topology using the "build" command. Topology has not been
edited since the last build or clean.

Completeness_Report:

This data layer represents the water pump location and tabular data supplied
by the owner of each system. For more information on data sources and contacts,
see the "Owner and Contact Table".

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Water pump locations were heads-up digitized to match with the state
supplied base mapping. In some cases actual GPS location points were
used. The overall threshold however is 40 feet or less. All features
were Verified by both HUA engineers as well as NCREDC for accuarcy. For
more information on data sources and contacts, see the "Owner and
Contact Table".

Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates digitized/compiled maps supplied
by the participating counties. Also all tabular data was input
into the CGIA supplied data standard. All heads-up digitizing
was performed in AutoCAD R12-14/ArcCAD with NC DOT supplied
road centerlines and hydro. Digital files were then converted
into ArcView 3.0 Shape files with the appropriate dBase
information. The data was completed in NAD83 Meters. Once compiled,
the data was delivered to John Soles at NCREDC for review and supplied
to the appropriate officials for each county for review for accurateness.

Process_Description:

Water pump locations were mappjoined into one statewide GIS
coverage using ARC/INFO GIS software. On-screen review of
the data and attributes was performed by a GIS analyst to make
sure the processing did not change the data. The draft metadata
supplied by Hobbs, Upchurch and Associates was finalized for
inclusion into the Corporate Geographic Database. An additional
table containing source data contact and system owner information
was created by HUA and has been incorporated into the data
available through CGIA.
